SUMMARY: NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to grant a partially exclusive patent license in the United States to practice the inventions described and claimed in U.S. Patent Number 8,987,632 B2 titled “Modification of Surface Energy via Direct Laser Ablative Surface Patterning,” NASA Case Number LAR-17769-1; and U.S. Patent Number 10,259,077 B2 titled “Modification of Surface Energy via Direct Laser Ablative Surface Patterning,” NASA Case Number LAR-17769-2, to Genetoo, Inc., having its principal place of business in Gaithersburg, MD. The fields of use may be limited to for performing laser ablation, on the surface of surgical implants, to enhance specific patterns and to avoid bacteria growth, and/or similar field(s) of use thereto.

Competing applications completed and received by NASA no later than March 30, 2020 will also be treated as objections to the grant of the contemplated partially exclusive license. Objections submitted in response to this notice will not be made available to the public for inspection and, to the extent permitted by law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information Act.
